Sale of Part of a House and Courtyard via HGV-meta
Subscriptions to a sale of part of a house and courtyard at Talei. Subscriptions to a sale contract in which Tamystha, acting with her husband Polemon as guardian, sells to her son Dionysios two fifths of an inherited two-storied house and courtyard in the village of Talei. The buyer acknowledges the sale; both parties were illiterate and had scribes write for them. The text dates to about AD 37 and comes from the Arsinoite nome (Tebtynis). machine translation

Ταμύσθα Ὀρσεῦτος μητρὸς Ταπετθεῦτος μετὰ κυρίου τοῦ ἀνδρός μου Πουλέμωνος τοῦ Διονυσίου μητρὸς
Ταανουβίωνος ὁμολογῶ πεπρακέναι Διονυσίῳ Πολέμωνος μητρὸς Ταμύσθας τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μοι μέρη δύο ἀπὸ μερῶν πέντε πατρικῆς οἰκίας διστέγου καὶ αὐλῆς καὶ
τῶν συνκυρόντων πάντων κοινῶν καὶ ἀδιαιρέτων ἐν Ταλεί· ὧν γείτονες ὅλης τῆς οἰκίας καὶ αὐλῆς νότου
καὶ ἀπηλιώτου πρότερον Νικολάου αὐλή, βορρᾶ κοινὴ
εἴσοδος καὶ ἔξοδος, λιβὸς Διδύμου γερδίου οἰκία.
καὶ ἀπέχω τὴν τιμὴν ἐκ πλήρους καὶ βεβαιώσω πάσῃ
βεβαιώσει καθὼς πρόκειται. ἔγραψεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν Ὀννῶφρις Μαρσισούχου διὰ τὸ μὴ εἰδέναι αὐτοὺς γράμματα. Διωνύσιος Πολέμωνος μητρὸς Ταμύσθας γέγονε εἴς με ἡ πρᾶσις καθὼς πρόκειται. ἔγραψεν ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ Πάτρων Ἥρωνος διὰ τὸ μὴ
εἰδέναι αὐτὸν γράμματα.Translations (1)

And I have received the price in full, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee, as stated above.
Onnophris son of Marsisouchos wrote for them because they do not know letters.
I, Dionysios son of Polemon, my mother being Tamystha: the sale has been made to me as stated above.
Patron son of Heron wrote for him because he does not know letters.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
